For those wanting to be on the gun, you better get on it exactly the same every time, because most stocks/chassis systems will flex more than .004"

Mythbusting Precision BR
- Thread starter thomasair
- Start date
And therein supports the free recoil method of shooting. It’s not impossible to be “on the gun” but to be competitive you have to apply the same amount of pressure and force each and every time you pull the trigger and that is darn near impossible, at least for me.

Here's one for the bipod folks. First time ever using one for BR at 50y.
Was it difficult? No
Was is unsteady? No
Did I struggle to pull the trigger correctly? No
Did my lack of shooting skills from a decade of using a mechanical rest rear its ugly head? No
Was it convenient? No
Will I ever use it again? No...unless somebody wants to make a bet with me.

I borrowed it from a friend... but he uses it quite a bit for sportsman class Rimfire.

The super wide stance is more steady than my one piece rest and sand bags. I suppose that's because the stock only has a 3 inch wide front plate.

I had one of those bipods and found the vertical to be a bit spongy and bouncy. Did you notice that Mike?

So, I’m guessing you might want to sell me one of your one or two piece rests for a song, now that you love Bipods

Mike,
That Bipod looks real solid. I have an Accu-Tac and I was wondering if you can provide the brand and model? Or, I can PM your friend who lent it to you and ask him directly.
Thanks

It's a Phoenix precision. No clue if it's more or less solid than an Accutac. The ski bases are likely important… Because if the bipod legs are grabby or snaggy on the bench, you'll probably have vertical trouble.

This is my favorite bipod to use on a factory rifle for BR. Have used a lot of different ones and this is the most solid and ease of use. Also use a rear squeeze bag plus with the keel of the stocks I use being on a slant the front wheel really does not come into play yet works well enough when needed.
It is expensive alongside the Accu-Tac's. They both have pluses and minuses depending on one's individual needs.
Needed to add one more thing, some shooters here have switched over to the wider platform with adjustable rear rests for their elevation and windage. They love the stability it has given them.

I think the Accutacs are pretty similar in cost. Been a long time since I looked, though.

Excellent article. As a long time PB BR guy at the highest levels I see guys getting into a particular competition then complaining about and wanting the rules changed. Baloney, you opted in, accept the rules or not. I hear shooters new and old talking about who to beat or who they are chasing. Wrong, you are competing againat the target. Beat the target and you will do well, worry about everyone else and probably not so well. If your shooting outdoors every shot without flags tells you little....or nothing.
